is this fair?

[Bigmaxxin]

i went down to a dismantler today at in sacramento, they said that a new auto tranny would cost 350, which sounded fair to me, plus i dont have to deal with tryin to pull one from a pick n pull, but is it a reasonable price?

[speedpenguin]

i can pull one from a pick and pull for $75
ask yourself if it's really worth paying that much more not to get one yourself

[k-roy]

For $350 it better have low miles and a damn good warrenty

Why don't you pick up a manual tranny for a lude and get some better gear ratios? Is there a reason you are getting an auto?

[Bigmaxxin]

the only reason i am getting an auto, is because the car is an auto, and i dont really feel like the xtra expesne of having to install a clutch, a new ecu, and all that stuff. the tranny has about 80,000 on it, the one that i have that is dead is at about 211k, so i figure it will go on for a while longer, the new one has been rebuilt, and has a 3 year warranty, i am also still considering pulling one from a pick n pull, but the lowest miles i found on a 3g down there was about 190k, im not in a real rush, and keep checking it out, but is that a good deal 80k, and a 3 year warranty?

I bought my complete engine and tranny w/ 79k mi for $200 from a honda wrecking yard called Honda's Only in San Jose, CA. (they also sold me the b18c1 for $2500). I dont know what area you are in, but check with all the wrecking yards near you and compare prices, Id be supprised if you cant find a better deal.

The cheapest new 5 speed I have found is $395 Plus shipping.

yea junkyards usally tripple the prices comapred to pick and pull. allways go to the pick and pull first, junkyards and dealerships are the last resort for parts.
